And, as parents, we have to guide them along the right path, teach them to make good decisions, and provide a good basis for harmonious development. I am confident that we are on the right path! Putting soul and love in without a trace in the process of software development, we create smart, powerful, functional reporting tools that can surprise even the most demanding developer."

It implements all the necessary functions, such as printing a report in HTML and PDF, exporting reports with the ability to display the settings dialog box, bookmarks, and parameters panel. The viewer supports different UI themes.

It was created using the HTML5 technology and is optimized to run on mobile devices (tablets, smartphones). Supports both mouse control and touch interface. It works on all modern browsers that support the HTML5 technology. The report viewer has the following features: viewing reports in one-page and multipage modes as well as exporting and printing reports as HTML and PDF files.

The product also added a new report viewer, written entirely in this technology. Stimulsoft Reports.Fx for Java can safely be called a full-fledged server component.
